Btrfs: send, fix incorrect file layout after hole punching beyond eof

fdmanana · kdave · commit 22d3151c2c4c · 2018-08-06T13:13:03.000+02:00
When doing an incremental send, if we have a file in the parent snapshot that has prealloc extents beyond EOF and in the send snapshot it got a hole punch that partially covers the prealloc extents, the send stream, when replayed by a receiver, can result in a file that has a size bigger than it should and filled with zeroes past the correct EOF. For example: $ mkfs.btrfs -f /dev/sdb $ mount /dev/sdb /mnt $ xfs_io -f -c "falloc -k 0 4M" /mnt/foobar $ xfs_io -c "pwrite -S 0xea 0 1M" /mnt/foobar $ btrfs subvolume snapshot -r /mnt /mnt/snap1 $ btrfs send -f /tmp/1.send /mnt/snap1 $ xfs_io -c "fpunch 1M 2M" /mnt/foobar $ btrfs subvolume snapshot -r /mnt /mnt/snap2 $ btrfs send -f /tmp/2.send -p /mnt/snap1 /mnt/snap2 $ stat --format %s /mnt/snap2/foobar 1048576 $ md5sum /mnt/snap2/foobar d31659e82e87798acd4669a1e0a19d4f /mnt/snap2/foobar $ umount /mnt $ mkfs.btrfs -f /dev/sdc $ mount /dev/sdc /mnt $ btrfs receive -f /mnt/1.snap /mnt $ btrfs receive -f /mnt/2.snap /mnt $ stat --format %s /mnt/snap2/foobar 3145728 # --> should be 1Mb and not 3Mb (which was the end offset of hole # punch operation) $ md5sum /mnt/snap2/foobar 117baf295297c2a995f92da725b0b651 /mnt/snap2/foobar # --> should be d31659e82e87798acd4669a1e0a19d4f as in the original fs This issue actually happens only since commit ffa7c42 ("Btrfs: send, do not issue unnecessary truncate operations"), but before that commit we were issuing a write operation full of zeroes (to "punch" a hole) which was extending the file size beyond the correct value and then immediately issue a truncate operation to the correct size and undoing the previous write operation. Since the send protocol does not support fallocate, for extent preallocation and hole punching, fix this by not even attempting to send a "hole" (regular write full of zeroes) if it starts at an offset greater then or equals to the file's size. This approach, besides being much more simple then making send issue the truncate operation, adds the benefit of avoiding the useless pair of write of zeroes and truncate operations, saving time and IO at the receiver and reducing the size of the send stream. A test case for fstests follows soon.
